Fortuna Secret SantaSIGN-UPS END THE 5TH AT 1PM EST
Get your requests in quick cause we're doing this last minute!

Hey there a few Fortuna peeps were interested in doing a secret Santa so we're setting up one last minute!

THEME: OCS
For this secret Santa we'll be making a Fortuna related oc for each other and drawing art of said oc and possibly tossing a paragraph about them into gift! This way everyone already goes in knowing what type of gift they'll be making so there's no surprises. Art + a bit of info if you want.

HOW TO ENTER
- Please try not to enter if you don't think your gift can be done and sent to your representative before the 24th!
- Fill out the sheet below to tell everyone your likes and dislikes, as well as your aesthetics that way people can figure out what you might want. Also put things you ABSOLUTELY do not want down, such as if you absolutely do not want any reptile species or notails.
- Post it on the topic.
- You're done!

What to do when you get your request
- Both me and Moon will be sending out your secret Santas!
- Check out what your Secret Santa wants in an oc and design a Fortuna OC based off their wishes!
- Write a little about the oc if you want, the only required part is the art piece!
- Deadline is the 24th! Please make sure you meet it!
- Please make sure you send your finished gift to the person who sent out your prompt, that means ME or MOON, DO NOT send your gift to your secret Santa! That also means if Moon sent your prompt to you, send the gift to moon, not me!
- This goes without saying but this is a secret Santa. Please do not post your art or talk about your gift anywhere until the 25th!

Please fill this out to sign up

[b]Absolutely does not want:[/b] (Things you 100% do not want to get, ex: Reptile species, bugs, Notails, Creepy scientist characters, ect)
[b]Any other info:[/b] (For anything else you want to say.)

Likes: Animal motifs, Wings, Horns, Tragedy [lov that suffering], Terrible characters [I mean I like O-6 so], Eschewing stereotypes [i.e. a hokkan who tries to act without animal instinct, a putley that has no interest in gods, etc], Justice, Robots, ....Deer [don't be going around calling me out for this, you know who you are], ...............Notails...Dislikes: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Aesthetics: Gold, Electronic sort of glows [shit like this], Fire, Shiny stuff in general tbh, RainbowsAbsolutely does not want:uhhhhh as far as I can think of N/A I might have to edit this later Oh I don't like boobs but like considering that this is a Fortuna OC thing do I even need to add this... I don't think anyone even really has them... Any other info: I mean my favourite characters include Apollo, O-6, and O-2 so I think anyone who knows me can already guess the kind of character personality I love the most honestly. Also, I hope whoever I get won't mind that I may end up editing their OC after they make 'em for me! :Oc

Likes: Reptile species, water themes, space, snakes, aftiks!Dislikes: too much sads :( Aesthetics: blues of all kinds, white highlights on dark shades and blackMusichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVRy2aWowgAAbsolutely does not want: Notails help theres too many notails. Also no gore/vore please. Any other info: If you are reading this you are a good person merry christmas (season)

Note while my lists are big do not feel like you have to jam every single thing into one character, just pick a few things you want to sprinkle in! If you don't get any fun ideas from the below that's ok, cause there's nothing more I love than being surprised! If you can't think of anything please make an OC that YOU would love as long as it's none of my don'ts.

Likes: Clockworks, Shitty edgy plot twists*, Any type of horror like social/emotional/body horror but mostly social horror, Notails, intelligent horror monsters, GLITCHES AND GAME META HORROR, on the lighter side of things I like nearly every species but I'm REALLY digging all the species submitted this round, Hybrids!, Capture creatures, Adorable characters who are really cute, Positive minded characters who are utterly hopeful and never give up, just about anything on my don't lists.

Dislikes: Multi-headedness unless for horror, True hiveminds, species who cannot vocalize, really hard to grasp concepts like the 4th dimension, Dark/horror for horror/edgy sake. Not too into characters who lets say murder their family because "They're Edgy" etc. I like bad edgy plot twists but with meaning if you get my flow. (As a note for most of those those are for personal ocs, I love most of those things otherwise)

Aesthetics x2: Black and Gold, Black and Gold again, Black and bright blue but sometimes with gold. Don't feel worried you have to make a black and gold character though, feel free to surprise me! ALSO GLITCHES AND GAME META HORROR. STILL THAT YES.

Absolutely does not want: Ocs of species I have personally created unless it's a notail! I'll take Ocs of AIs I have created though! I'll only take a notail oc if it's a notail leader who isn't the R,P, or N leader! Please check out the notail section for what the numbers of the other leaders are! I wouldn't recommend doing a notail oc unless you think you can get the notail aesthetic right. (See the O-class entries.)

Any other info: Feel free to take two of my ocs and then smash them together to make a fictional child I love ship children. When I mean my Ocs know I don't mean characters like Cobalt or Nova, I mean my personal Ocs like O-2 or my AIs, no characters who have been made for our crews. (Unless the ship is Athena x Eris, I don't want ship kids from that.)

Any other info: Nope! Happy holidays! Absolutely does not want: Aftiks (I love 'em but I already have 8 of them), Generics (same thing as with aftiks), Drakons, (same thing as with aftiks), otherwise I can't think of anything!

Don't feel like you have to include everything I like, just use this as a starting point! You can click on some of them for examples and stuff.

Likes: Dragons, birds, knives, overly decorated knives, robots, gems/rocks/minerals, tentacles (I swear if someone takes this the wrong way I'm gonna scream), creepy but not in a bad way (think Welcome to Night Vale), bonus armsDislikes: Too edgy, unrealistic backstory (if applicable), too bright colors, insects (I can't draw them), powder backstories that make you say "ow"Aesthetics:Pastels, punk, pastel punk, t r i a n g l e s, minimalism, drippy bois, memes, SPACE, whatever emotion this song is, retro computers, sleek designs, 80's (hELLA), vaporwave, THIS LIKE EXACTLYAbsolutely does not want: Monkeys. Clowns. No OCs from the 1 species I made. Also do not go off the deep end with the creep factor. Horrible clockworks are fun to draw, but aren't the best for OCs, you feel me?Any other info: I am a BIG nerd for robots and birds. And robot birds. Custom AIs are really interesting to me!

Please don't feel like you gotta have everything here! I have a hard time saying what i like but i like... a lot of things.

Likes: Eye horror, characters with strong personalities, meek personalities, characters that are narssistic, chiras, actually i like bats, 'soft' species in terms of personality, backstories that are extra or mundane, um this is condradicting isn't it, bright colours, pastel colours, cliché tropes, i really like furry species in general actuallyDislikes: really really creepy things to the point its too unnerving, anything too sad! please no sexulization whatsoever. i'd prefer no gnosis but if you got a good idea go for it!!! Aesthetics: pastel colurs, pale colours and bright colours are a super yes!!! i also like monochrome palettes aka palattes that are diffrent shades of one colour but you can put in a diffrent colour for constrast and itd be neat. eye horror's 100% my aesthetic. by soft maybe look heeeeere i dont know if that explains it though!!! also also fancy things. royal aesthetics. search up royal Aesthetic its all goodAbsolutely does not want: i think i have enough notail ocs then i know what to do with! [re: like, 2 ocs. children] so no notails please. also maybe no characters that are superdupr creepy or tackle super serious topics- i don't expect anyone to make things like that but felt like i should say anyways! also guns, fire, nsfw stuff and alcohol bother me a bit so maybe no characters w/ that, thank ;w;Any other info:Thank you for being my santa! ^^ sorry if any of this sounds weird but i'll really be happy with what you make me!

Likes: Notails, basically every AI in Fortuna, Creative shitposting, colorful bandaids? Aftiks, either everybody being happy or everybody being miserable and fauna.

Dislikes: nothing in particular!

Aesthetics: Red, gold and purple stuff, Robots, flower crowns, fluff, softness, other nice garbage like that and people being unhappy.

Absolutely do not want my only request is to keep it safe for work! Anything else is perfectly fine!

Extra notes I would absolutely be on board if anyone wanted to make anything absolutely MONSTROUS, like something funny but no one would ever want to look it right in the eyes for fear of becoming monstrous too.

Likes: Downward spirals/negative character development, good people who do terrible things, nonbinary characters, characters who take a trope/stereotype and twist it interestingly, characters who Really Fuckin Love a particular person or group of people Dislikes: Gender stereotypes, characters who embody stereotypes/tropes in general, tooooo much body horror (some is ok)Aesthetics: Birds/feathers, forests, violet (you know like Eridan violet? yeah) and gold, religious symbolismAbsolutely does not want: Tiddy, NSFW, sexualised charactersAny other info: Merry crisis :D

these are all just starting points!! as long as it doesn't include stuff in dislike/absolutely dont want i'll absolutely love it!

Likes: OH MAN I LIKE A LOTTA THINGS. any type of horror but eye horror is my fave appearance-wise and social horror is my fave story-wise, gore boys, sweet characters, sour characters, salty characters, im suuuuuper duper fond of the trope where a character goes through loads of hardship but is still determined!!! but horrible people can be fun too...honestly any kind of thing where a trope is subverted in an interesting way is pretty neat! but joke characters are also funny. i love loads of things! there really isn't much about stuff that i don't think i could find smth to love about em.

Dislikes: no unsanitary i beg you. no oversexualized stuff in general either please! and hmmm im nooooot too fond of super duper edgy stuff, like...edge for the sake of edge maybe? i can dig super dark stuff if it's got purpose and intention but not if it doesnt is all

Aesthetics: UHHHHH AW MAN IM SUPER FOND OF BLACK/DARK COLORS + A LIGHT COLOR AS AN ACCENT, like neons or pastels, but also accenting with white is good! and like dawn/dusk color schemes yknow, yellow/orange/pink/purple/blue/black. i also like shades of creams and brown, but monochrome can be super striking too, but ohhhh...man i just love colors dude. i also like flowers and stars and obviously moons, and hm...i love tons and tons and toooooons of stuff aesthetics wise. i also really like eyes and shit like especially fucked up eyes? and multiple eyes? multiple fucked up eyes???? nice. actually it might be easier to just link my aesthetic blog if you want more examples of stuff i like visually but you don't have to look at it or anything it's all good.

Absolutely does not want: HMHMHM nothing really that isn't already in my dislikes! maybe no chiras or ruhis please.

Absolutely does not want: Heavy body horror, a n'nik (I have so many of my babies already XD)

Any other info: I'm open to most stuff because I love seeing how other people design things, so if you don't really feel super inspired by my info feel free to go crazy! I never shy away from a complex or challenging design either, by golly I'll draw the thing if it kills me! You can make whatever ya want as long as you have fun! And happy holidays!

You don't have to cram all of this stuff into a character, make it interesting and different! Heck, add in some of your likes if you want, just nothing in the absolutely does not want :3

Likes: Reptiles, claws(dull or sharp), birds (but less than reptiles), long tails, thicker than normal tails (ex:alitgators tails, they're pretty thick) reptile and bird feet are prefered (don't make it weird, it's not like that >:T), stars (five pointed kind more than the space-y kind) warm colors like red, maroon, orange, and yellow, dark pastel blue, water themes, heck just water in general, pineapples, triangles, maybe just simple shapes in general, sleek/futuristic colors (ex: black and gold) combos of scales and feathers are neat, robots and AI, reptiles (again), plant related fauna and other stuff, s w e a t s h i r t s and other lazy outfits like that (don't be afraid to do something outside the norm and make a character wearing something weird or unusual, or even just a suit or something formal like that! I love to draw stuff like that too!!) oh and good people who are seen as bad/do bad things. Interesting personalities too, even if they lean more towards the negative, gotta love that shit! Plot twists, especially the funny ones that make absolutely no sense, but if you squint at a ninety degree angle while holding a triangular pineapple, it might make the slightest bit of sense!

Aesthetics: Black and gold/sleek looking colors (as mentioned above) water, reptiles, stars and moons and all that junk in space, any pastel color that isn't green, creamy colors and browns are quite nice too! monochrome is pretty neat looking too, triangles, and eyes. Like, not an entire body made of eyes (as mention before) but just a few, (maybe like six, at the most) (is gay an aesthetic? Oh boy do I have problems..) oh also, edginess for the sake of edginess, have actual explanations if they are please :3

Absolutely does not want: I'm actually repeating alot of stuff heh sorry about that! Uhh sexualized characters, (though I doubt people would do that) fluffy paws/ cat or dog paws, and overly complex designs. I like to draw my characters on paper alot, and have them be fun to draw. If there are too many details to remember, I will wind up drawing them less and less, and they might end up in a mental folder somewhere, probably never to be seen again. You can have interesting designs that are still simple! Take Artemis V1 for example, they have nice details, but nothing too hard to remember! I hope this isn't too much! UwU

Any other info: If the character ends up too complicated for me to draw, there is a slight chance for design change. Also, Merry Christmas! And thank you so, so much for doing this and putting up with my likes and dislikes :D <3 *W H E E Z E* I'm sorry this is a really long list

right okay right i wanted to sign up for this right right right let's do this oh god what do i like

Likes: tuff girls what like to fight, cute people, people who are cute and tuff simultaneously. bugs n' furries. body horror is cool, but especially body horror that the "victim" of it is totally cool with. I also got a history of apparently being into inventor types. also transformation is cool look i have 'good body horror' listed is this a surprise oh yeah and of course i love contrast between appearance and personalityDislikes: i dunno i guess i don't really know what to do with characters that aren't at least somewhat humanoid, like, pure quadripeds and the like. AS well as characters that are like, monstrous in mind, like, lack of rational thought kinda stuff.Aesthetics: uhhhhh purple is always a good color, i guess? top aesthetic is urban fantasy, but like, dingy urban fantasy. the pawn shop downtown that you weren't sure was there yesterday, a neon sign not quite working right, flickering, advertising all your dreams coming true.
An aging mall, more storefronts empty than actually containing stores. There's a certain sterility to it, somebody is keeping things very clean, despite the dwindling clientele. There's an intense feeling of unfamiliarity, like nobody here comes from anywhere you'd recognize, and yet somehow you feel safe. Whoever keeps care of this place watches over all who walk its halls.
These pictures give me the strongest feelings of this: [X][X][X]this doesn't specifically mean magic so much as a sense of the unreal, really.Absolutely does not want: i mean i kinda used my dislikes to give what i'd be less inclined to want, but i'm not gonna explicitly say you can't try if you think you have like, just the idea to make me more into it. nothing really i'd be super against OH WAIT except racists and the like. keep that [racist] trait away from me thxand i mean on the 'not required but consider otherwise' front, look we all love notails but there are enough notails already, and they aren't furry enough anywaysAny other info: I hope I win!!

Likes: making people screm (please reference anytime that in the discord someone screamed IAN or IAN NO), "I am pushing past what you can understand", non-neurotypicality, intelligence, transcendance, capture creatures and pets. if you've read it I enjoy floornight and cordyceps on ao3, along with danganronpa and warframe and lots of stuff. Feel free to ask my friends, I'll even add a list of friends to this. I really like Ghost-P and related vocaoid artists, along with animation memes involving body horror like Hot Milk memes, and my fav bodyhorror work lately is Chiasmata. I also like dating sims like Dream Daddy. I'm morbid, love unreality stuff, and idk what else to say, I'm ichimatsu trash, I love spoopy occult stuff.Dislikes: I tend not to like stress about survival (hence my unrealism). I don't really like a lot of fighting stuff, especially due to my tendency to go from 1 to 11 with regard to destruction. I'm also really not into superheroes, like the closest thing I like to superheroes is Chaismata.Aesthetics: otherworldly stuff, dreamy pinks and purples, glitch horror, isolation fantasies (the world ended and I'm the only one left but all the stores are still stocked with fresh food for some reason). a lot of sensory dissonant stuff. Lemme tell you I hecking live for the bodyhorror that comes out of the abomination/clockwork part of the fandom.Absolutely does not want:notails, xenophobes and racists, utilitarianism in any form, throwing people under the bus for 'the greater good', manipulative/emotionally abusive people, 'no ends justify the means'.Any other info:I'm probably going to write you a 5k thing about the character I give you, and I'll probably write vignettes unless I'm told not to. I'm gonna add songs probably to this.

X Hyperdontia Series (it's very relevant to my personal vent stuff, content warnings inside the work)X I love happy bouncy stuff at times.x bodyhorror/flashing stuffx 4th dimensional stuff is fun okx I love fanfics like this, if it helps you understand stuff I like?x my goth ass loves this stuff okx big mood is the setting out music
these should probably all help better define "what does Ian like vibe wise"

[LIVE] - a fortuna fanventure, like and subscribe to AliCat2020's playthrough of the new DLC[M]om - a textventure about Notail raising. how will you do =)

Likes: birds, bugs, cute and/or cool characters, characters with a "gimmick" (ik this is vague, but it's like some special ability/signature unique to them eg. clockwork cobalt's guntail) (feel free to totally skip this point if you have no idea what i'm on about), simplistic design, cool colours (purple is a fav), musical instruments, casual clothing, goop???, extra limbs

Absolutely does not want: The mundane. Regular everyday humons. Boooring.
Which doesn't really apply to anything in the 'dex, so go nuts I guess.

Any other info: Doesn't have to be anything on here, this is just to give you an idea of what kinda person I am. Feel free to surprise me, I'm not picky. I pretty much mega appreciate anything people are willing to draw for me.

Likes: Transformation, Secrets('My Watch has a secret compartment/can turn into brass knuckles/tells the time in code!'), grace, elegance, honor, conflict, drama, crazy, absurd, humble, egotistical, kind, utilitarian, determined, confident, snarky, lasers, meta ,..tech/mechanical?, ..broken things? ..birds? ,...how do you put it... balance? (I.E.:If you can, it'd be nice to see a less-talked-about-species...)Dislikes: *shrugs*Aesthetics:...ʷʰᵃᵗ'ˢ ᵃᶰ ᵃᵉˢᵗʰᵉᵗᶦᶜ﹖Absolutely does not want:Any other info: I'm not certain on, well, anything as far as likes or dislikes, and I'd recommend using them as guidelines more than a to-do list. I feel like this is probably a good opportunity to get a character that is less like the type I would usually make, so yeah...
I'd say just have fun with it, but I feel that would apply to anyone's OC-Gift.

Aesthetics: see avatar - cheesy 90s action sports cartoons who are supposed to be cutting edge and hip but aren't really. also dogs inside or on top of trucks, also avante garde, surrealism or magical realism, things that are a bit absurd

Does not want: notails

Any other info: maybe a species/ai that hasn't gotten much love. roll if you want
